Reisher Graduate Scholarship

The Reisher Graduate Scholarship supports alumni of the Reisher Scholars Program in pursuing master's degrees and certificates or licensure for their field in Colorado. The program was established in 2001 by the Reisher family, who came from modest means and were the first in their families to attend and graduate from college. Appreciating how much their education impacted their lives and success in the banking industry, the Reisher family established the Reisher Scholars Program with The Denver Foundation to help fill a gap in Colorado student financial aid. The scholarship provides three funding tiers ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 and operates on a rolling cycle with three separate application periods throughout the year. Award-tier decisions are based on the costs of the program outlined, the number of applications received, and the funds available. Scholarship awards can be used toward tuition, fees, required books and supplies, room and board, and other required educational expenses. Funds can be used beginning in the upcoming academic year for part-time or full-time study at an accredited school in Colorado. All scholarship awards will be paid directly to a recipient's educational institution, and award disbursement is contingent upon the outside scholarship acceptance policies of a recipient's college or university or program.
